Intex in collaboration with MediaTek introduced two new smartwatches dubbed iRist Pro and iRist Junior. Both wearables were showcased at the 2nd Smart Cities India 2016 Expo in New Delhi on Thursday.

The Intex iRist Junior as the name suggests is targeted at kids and is the first IoT based wearable from Intex to utilize MediaTek MT6261 SoC. The iRist Pro on the other hand is equipped with MediaTek MT2052 SoC, which is the world's smaller commercial SoC for wearables.

The iRist Junior sports 0.96-inch TFT display and has GPS support for child tracking. It comes with a SIM slot (2G) and offers two-way communication, voice chat,auto answer, and ability to block unknown contacts. The wearable also has the ability to report last location before powering off. It is IP65 certified which means it is water and dust resistant, comes with SoS feature, WiFi, backed by 580mAh battery, and is compatible with Android (4.4+) and iOS (7.0+) device. 

The Intex iRist Pro is the successor of iRist, Intexs' first smartwatch. It comes with 2.5D curved display, water resistant body, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity and ability to make and receive calls. The wearable is compatible with devices running Android 4.4 and up. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a camera like the first iRist smartwatch.

The Intex iRist Junior Kids smartwatch is priced at Rs. 3,999, while the pricing of Intex iRist Pro will be revealed close to launch later this year.
